Apocalypse Fengyun 483_ Apocalypse Fengyun full text free reading_483 Separation of personnel and positions (middle) from ()

Liu Zongzhou's remarks can be regarded as a clear explanation of the official's grade, position, and achievements, and also shows the phenomenon of promotion that has always been incomprehensible. The process of official promotion has always been like this, first of all, you have to continue to make achievements, whether it is true or fake, anyway, you have to let the person who can decide your fate see that you are doing it, and then there is another person who keeps speaking for you, then your road to promotion will be smoother. In this case, as soon as the officials became officials, they began to work hard, desperately trying to show their talents when they had something to do, and to make a little movement when they had nothing to do and create some incidents.

Fortunately, the Apocalypse imposed a system of age restrictions on grades a few years ago, otherwise those young and strong officials would have to forget to sleep and eat to make meritorious contributions, and one by one they would strive to be promoted to the Government Council within a few years. Only when you get to that place, that is, you can stand at the highest place that officials can go to and point fingers at others. Even if the grade is limited by age, many officials have accumulated a lot of merit in the merit book, and it is not impossible to rush to the next threshold once they reach the age.

Age limits the grade but can't limit the position, many people are willing to do big things and get a little money, the Government Council first started to use low-level officials to do high-level officials, that is, Qian Qianyi, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and their batch. In the past few years, the Government Council has retired a lot of old ministers who have reached the age of age, and there is no way to recruit a few young people to help with government affairs. In this matter, there is a new content in everyone's understanding of job titles and grades, and many people are thinking about how to do things first and wait for the age to reach the standard, which is equivalent to occupying a position first.

Apocalypse can only turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, everyone has not violated the rules of age restriction grades, and there are people who are willing to do big things and take small money, and he can't say what is wrong. Now that the Apocalypse is piloting the implementation of the system of elected officials, it also means that there is a rule in the position of officials, and it is always inappropriate to have a limit on the rank and position without a limit. Qian Qianyi and Yang Lian first carried out pilot projects in the north and south respectively, and then conducted a second pilot together around Beijing.

Liu Zongzhou did not live up to the expectations of the Apocalypse, and gave full play to his specialty of admitting death in this matter, and after careful consideration, he finally linked his rank with the official's achievements, and put his position and achievements aside. In the Ming Dynasty, the grade of each official is related to his income, the grade is high, the natural income is high, the grade is low, the natural income is low, for example, the monthly salary of the seven-grade official is about seven to eight stones of rice, and the monthly salary of the first-grade official reaches nearly ninety stones, the difference is about ten times more. An official's achievements are equivalent to making meritorious contributions, and upgrading him to a higher grade is equivalent to increasing his income, and it can be regarded as rewarding those who have made meritorious contributions with some visible benefits.

Of course, there is also a kind of reward that is directly rewarded with silver at one time, that is because this person's meritorious work is a little strange and it is not good to improve the grade, or he is limited by his age and cannot be promoted, so he simply has something affordable so as not to wait too long. Whether it is a long-term reward or a one-time reward to improve the grade, there is a meaning of not owing each other in it, this time you are rewarded, of course, the credit you have made will be written off, and in the future, don't talk about the past credit. However, there are also people who are thinking about how to get a bigger position while getting the benefits of reality, so this will not work, because Apocalypse has long said that position and merit should be separated.

At the earliest, Tianqi once discussed the relationship between position and merit with Liu Zongzhou and others, and Tianqi believed that position and merit should be separated, and meritorious service should be rewarded, and position cannot be rewarded, but can only be arranged according to personal ability. Liu Zongzhou didn't figure out this question at first, he thought that a person's achievements proved that he was capable, and since he was capable, he should be given a bigger stage for him to perform. There is nothing wrong with this idea at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, there is a question: if a person has made achievements in a low-level position, will he necessarily be able to make achievements in a high-level position?

For example, if a person does well in the Xiucai exam, does it mean that he must do well in the Jinshi exam now? If you think about it carefully, the answer is no, a person who did well in the Xiucai exam can only say that he studied well before, and if he wants to do well in the future examination, he will have to continue to study hard, and if he doesn't study hard and eat his old book, I'm afraid it won't be long before he will be out of the crowd.

Of course, Liu Zongzhou also figured out this problem later, the position must be linked to ability, a person has made achievements in a small place before, it can only mean that he has a certain amount of small ability, to say that his little ability can be competent in a big place, I am afraid that anyone will shake their heads. We all know that the improvement of ability is not suddenly improved, there must be a continuous learning process, unless the large and small places have similar requirements for people's ability, if this is the case, there must be problems with the development of the Ming Dynasty.

The mismatch between the previous ability and the new position is one reason, and according to the apocalypse, there is another reason why the position cannot be rewarded with merit, that is, the fear that officials will be unscrupulous to make money. At the beginning, I have already said that whether it is a long-term reward for upgrading the grade or a one-time reward, there is no debt to each other in it, and it is not to give visible benefits but to a larger official position, what does this mean that individuals will slowly ponder, and six or seven times out of ten will think that the court is encouraging themselves to use the newly given power to make money, on the contrary, their previous merits are equivalent to buying such an official, so thinking about it, it must be not for nothing, but also to make peace of mind, thinking that they deserve it.

In the final analysis, officials, like ordinary people, also have seven emotions and six desires, as well as material needs, and it is only natural that they should receive material rewards for their meritorious service; just like a businessman who gets up early in the morning and runs around in the dark to transport goods, it is impossible for him to only think about how to facilitate the masses without thinking about how much he can earn. Officials are the same, it is impossible to serve the people with a breeze on their sleeves, those who only think about how to make more money are corrupt officials will make everyone despise, those who are not self-interested and specialize in benefiting others only exist in legends, serving the people and making everyone rich, but also increasing their own small family background, this is the sincere idea of the vast majority of officials in the world is also the correct idea.

After Liu Zongzhou's words came out, everyone was thinking about it, only King Xin didn't think much about it, because he had heard Tianqi probably talk about this consideration before, although it was not as detailed as Liu Zongzhou's words at that time, but the general meaning was almost the same, that is, the position of an official should be related to his ability, not related to his previous merits. King Xin looked at the people around him and remembered that he was about to leave the Government Council and come here, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart, he used to have to face many specific affairs in the Government Council, although there were people next to him to help him without him doing it himself, but it was not as idle and more powerful than the Prison Yuan, which was a good place with high power and light responsibility.

King Xin looked at the people around him, and suddenly remembered that Yang Lian and Qian Qianyi were not from the Supervision Yuan, and after thinking about it carefully, he remembered that they came to find Liu Zongzhou at the beginning and Liu Zongzhou was not there, and then he came, thinking of this, King Xin asked: "Lord Liu began to go to the Bo Academy with Lord Xu to deal with affairs, what happened, can you tell me?" ”

Liu Zongzhou didn't want to talk about it, but when he saw the letter king asking, he sighed and said: "It's not Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru from the Ministry of Etiquette who made trouble, a while ago the emperor asked them to investigate the situation in education, so as to improve the literacy ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can they participate in the election if they are illiterate?" Obviously, Zhang San was selected and voted for Li Si's box, isn't that a joke? This Wen Ti and Zhou Yanru are also strange, the investigation will investigate and stir up the anger of others, and now there are a group of people who say that the thinking of our Donglin Academy is the idea of learning valves, and people who are not from Donglin will be hit and excluded, where does this start? ”

King Xin was surprised when he heard it, he knew that Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were not Donglin Party, but he also knew that these two people were very cautious people and would not do anything to sow discord, and even if they did, they would not be too obvious. Although he thought so, he also had to ask, because these two people still belonged to his subordinates, and King Xin said: "I see that Lord Wen and Lord Zhou usually know the rules when they do things, why do they suddenly start to stir up right and wrong now?" Wait until I go back and ask what they mean. ”

Liu Zongzhou hurriedly said: "It's not that they are stirring up trouble, it's just that they made some records during the investigation, which means that when the emperor asks them in the future, they can also use data to speak, indicating that their investigation is not a casual thing, nor is it a lie." Who knew that when they were investigating other people, the transcripts they had made before were seen by others, and they were summarized by people with good intentions, and they found that the officials who were not Donglin Academy were not very proud, so they began to discuss Donglin Academy. ”

In fact, Wen Tiren's records are not targeted, and they do reflect some of the current phenomena of the Ming Dynasty, the main officials in the court are all Jinshi and most of them are high-ranking Jinshi, so there is a phenomenon that some people look down on some people. Of course, the people look down on the talents, and the same Jinshi looks down on the people, the Jinshi must look down on the same Jinshi, even if they are the top three of the same Jinshi, they also look down on the other people outside the hundred. Later, important positions in the imperial court were not used by Jinshi, and even if there were not enough Jinshi, Jinshi was given priority to other candidates, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Among them, because of the gap in academic qualifications, it is bearable to be looked down upon, and the most unbearable thing is the discrimination of sects, and the officials of the non-Donglin Party obviously feel that their prospects are very bleak, and after complaining a few words in private that the Donglin Party is a scholar, it is more about the open contradiction of academic qualifications. When Liu Zongzhou and Xu Guangqi arrived at the doctoral college with the attitude of solving the problem, a group of people immediately began to complain about this unfairness, and at Xu Guangqi's request, two people from prison students came out and began to talk to Xu Guangqi and Liu Zongzhou on an equal footing.

A few years ago, because the imperial court was in a hurry to employ people, and these two people were also very good, they did not participate in the imperial examination, and later they were much less than others in the evaluation grade, and even many people who were not as good as them could get more money just because they won a jinshi, how can this be convincing? These two people also gave a lot of examples to illustrate the shortcomings of academic qualifications, not to mention the fact that the emperors of the past dynasties were not born as scholars, and even the saints such as Confucius and Mencius, as well as smart people such as Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang were also taken out to talk about things, saying that if these people were in the Ming Dynasty, they would not be able to make achievements, because they did not have any high education.

When Liu Zongzhou told them that the imperial examination only started after the Sui Dynasty, the two people said that Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty was a person who failed to pass the examination for many years, and finally rebelled and brought down the Tang Dynasty. Of course, now the emperor's enlightened officials and the people are very loyal, and they will not let anyone have different hearts because of the imperial examination system, but the emperor requires that the people be literate as much as possible, and now it is so unfair that the people may not have the interest in reading and writing.

The words of these two people were a bit like nonsense, but they were still pulling Xu Guangqi and asking him to comment on whether the paper, firecrackers, cannons, etc. that could write were all invented by Jinshi, and whether many of the affairs in the Bo Academy were all made by Jinshi.

King Xin was a little amused when he heard this, and he asked, "Lord Xu is still talking to people there, because there is originally a national eunuch, and he must explain it, otherwise those people will bother him every day." Of course, Lord Liu can leave, because your Holy Academy used to be the Hanlin Academy, and there must be a lot of support for you, I just want to ask how you think their words should be answered? ”

Liu Zongzhou thought for a while and said: "There is only one way, that is, to find a way to accurately identify people's abilities, academic qualifications and merits are not reliable, and ability is what everyone is more convinced." ”
